The DNR was supposed to send stickers with registration package, but they never did. Question: where does the “helm” sticker go? The application diagram shows a center console. Lady at the DNR told me to wrap it around the tiller. I told her that was ridiculous and decided it was the ENGINE’S throttle/tiller, so I put a sticker directly on the engine. </span></div> <div class="yiv2957633390MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;"> </span></div> <div class="yiv2957633390MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">In Annapolis, I found my anchor rode too short, so I bought 100’ at West marine – still too short until the measurer told me “you can stretch it dude.” Funny regatta story from Yappa: he was told his paddle was too short.
